So you're the reason for the id90 fun?

I've had this problem once before with B6 too. I have a very easy to spell/common name. So I think the 7 times that each gate agent attempted were probably sufficient. I made sure they used the top number, not the delta one. The weirdest thing is the same gate agent listed a CP guy ahead of me and right after me no problem. Just wasn't my lucky day.

Still don't know why you guys have your PPR on your badges.

Because another air line makes our badges and I think they have their PPR numbers on their own. Kept the same format, if not, who knows.

How about a chief pilot since they have access to CASS.

I've had the same issue with SouthWest from time to time and was given a boarding pass that restricted me to the cabin only.
Other issue that I've had is that my CASS picture is different from my ID picture and some gate agents have had an issue with that. Not a big difference, but I guess us white dudes all look the same.

Ha. I had three different looks I was sporting for a while with my IDs. Airline ID had glasses, Driver's license had a bad goatee, and I was clean shaven with no glasses. I seriously expected TSA to punt me from the KCM line but they never did.

That doesn't really coincide nicely with anyone's epoch...what sort of computer is THAT?

Say what? How would cass have a clue where a pilot is based?

If I recall SWA has some sort of mega priority for their own pilots when they are jumpseating to their domicile. I'd guess that it's on the form because of that and they just ask everybody to so they can fill in all the boxes. A pilot's domicile is not stored in the CASS database so they'd have no way of knowing where an off line pilot is based. And I doubt an agent can see where a SWA pilot is based either, especially with their 1970s res system.
I don't know, but I did have a couple trips with them where I got the CABIN ONLY pass because of an incorrect base. Got it corrected and no further problems.
